Default KM1500 vs. K500

There has been talk in the past about the differences between the KM1500 and the obselete K500. As most have never seen the K500 I took a few shots of both of mine side-by-side so you can see the difference.

Mark

Sorry about the title being incorrect but the edit feature will not let me correct it. The correct title should be KM1500 vs. K500

Yes they are in Utah along with 4-cages of 1 1/4" both tight wind and open wind cable (some brand new). One rear guide hose and a whole bunch of cutters (not 3,000) in a Ridgid tool box. If you are really interested I will be up there again November 15th or sooner.

Mark

BTW: For some reason I think the K500 may have 5/8" clutches in it but I will check and see if I have any new 1 1/4" clutches left over.
